Corp. William Shurts

Comments: I have a book with the following information on Corporal William Shurts.........

THE SINGING MARINE

Corporal William Shurts, 21 of F. Company, 5th Marine Regiment, was hit by a sniper's bullet on a Korean hill. He died the next day. His inspirational singing brought cheer and courage to the trenches. His comrades described him as the "man who brought God to the front lines!" His favorite song was: "The Old Rugged Cross." How this song enheartened the men in the foxholes! Often, they would join with Corporal Shurts on the chorus. Passing from man to man, William spoke quietly to them of faith in God. "After he talked to us," a comrade wrote, "the dark foiled utterly. But for sinners he has a Gospel.

Widow needs your help

Comments: My Dad was Paul Edward Savage. He's one of the "Chosin Frozen." He passed away a year ago and the VA refuses to continue his benefits for my mom who spent her life taking care of him and is 73. We've got a lawyer who's requested we get some first hand details of what it was like to be in the Chosin, the conditions etc. Also, I have what may seem to be a strange question... Did the marine corp provide cigarettes or anything else to you all as an aid to nervousness or to help keep you alert, etc.? Please contact me at weo2him@yahoo.com with any info you have I'm gathering info for the lawyer in hopes that I can help my mother receive the benefits my dad earned in sacrificing his livelihood in Korea. It may be that this battle with the VA will be of help to other veterans' widows in the future.

Thank you, Susan Savage

Thanks for your help.
